Located on a gently-sloping hill in the edge of moderate woodland, adjacent to an old
roadbed that runs north and south. The road obviously hasn't been used in quite some time,
for there are large trees growing within it. Only one grave was identifiable, while two or
three native rocks nearby could have possibly been grave markers, although no
identification was evident. There were also one or two old rose bushes and other vestiges
of cemetery adornment growing among the vines and trees.
An earlier visitor reported finding two additional identifiable graves, plus an initialed
footstone, which have apparently been covered by debris on the forest floor.
